My energy cost per mile is 1/5 to 1/7 of my ICE vehicle. My maintenance costs are 1/2 or less than my iCE vehicle.
Brakes and rotors at 30K miles??? I just replaced mine on my 2016 A4 at 75K and the still had plenty of wear left. Yes, I drive aggressively too.
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
No. Looks perfectly normal.
1.5 years ago a client was offered brake pads only with a 1 year warranty, no guarantee against noises or pulsations, or brake pads and rotors together with a 3 year warranty against noises and pulsations. They opted for the 1 year option on their fancy 2017 Audi because the rotors were stupid expensive.
Blew threw mine at 30K
Factory brakes in my 2021 we’re pretty low quality, lasted about 3 years.
I thought the brakes sucked
I still think the stock breaks on my 22VB needed more bite. They weren’t giving me the performance I wanted. My stock brakes didn’t give me that confidence. In the moments where I had to slam on the breaks, I still stopped safely, but it was a brown flag moment. They worked, but they didn’t inspire confidence. Additionally, I had issues with heat. Driving down the a mountain on a hot day (101°F), I needed to pull over and sit because my brakes were fading and my fluids boiling. Yes, the stock brakes will stop you. But I couldn’t trust them to stop me every time.
